Hillary Clinton spoofs her caution, likability on ‘SNL’

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton spoofed her reputation for caution and slow adoption of liberal positions during a cameo on “Saturday Night Live.”


Clinton gamely played a bartender named “Val” alongside cast member Kate McKinnon, who regularly plays Clinton on the show. McKinnon plays the character as comically strident and fiercely ambitious.

“I’m just an ordinary citizen who thinks the Keystone pipeline will destroy our environment,” Clinton deadpanned.

McKinnon, playing Clinton as a downtrodden candidate, noted that the position on Keystone was a long time coming.washingtonpost
